Donald Trump has vowed to put an end to birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens on the first day of his return to office.
“As part of my plan to secure the border, on day one of my new term in office I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that, under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship,” he said in his latest Agenda 47 video.
“Joe Biden has launched an illegal foreign invasion of our country, allowing a record number of illegal aliens to storm across our borders,” Trump blasted.
“Under Biden’s current policies, even though these millions of illegal border crossers have entered the country unlawfully, all of their future children will become automatic U.S. citizens… They’ll be eligible for welfare, taxpayer-funded healthcare, the right to vote, chain migration, and countless other government benefits, many of which will also profit the illegal alien parents,” he explained, describing the current policy as “a reward for breaking the laws of the United States [and] obviously a magnet helping draw the flood of illegals across our borders.”
Many Western countries, such as the United Kingdom, reserve the right to strip people born on their soil of citizenship if they are dual nationals or eligible for citizenship elsewhere.
